Very popular drink in the 1950s. A lot of WW2 vets drank whisky and water. My grandfather did through the 1980s. They called them "highballs", although anymore that term is used to describe whisky and soda. A lot of older drinkers still drink whisky and water. Any bartender who hasn't heard of a "Cutty and water" is a millennial green horn.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
